About Shane

Shane Schuhmacher uses an integrative, client-centered approach that emphasizes practical skills and personal values to help clients navigate life’s challenges. Shane combines evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness with motivational interviewing and acceptance-based strategies to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

He brings five years of licensed counseling experience and nearly two decades in the human services field to inform a collaborative, strengths-focused practice. Shane works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anger, relationship difficulties, parenting questions, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

He prioritizes building a strong therapeutic relationship, using active listening, reflections, and unconditional positive regard to deepen understanding of thoughts and emotions and support movement toward goals. Sessions focus on practical problem solving, increasing self-awareness, and developing coping strategies that fit everyday life.

Clients can expect an individualized process that balances short-term skill building with exploration of values and meaning. Shane aims to create a respectful environment where change is gradual and sustainable, and he invites motivated people ready to reflect and take actionable steps to connect and begin work together.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Shane commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and clarify personal values that guide meaningful action. CBT focuses on how thoughts influence mood and behavior and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. ACT combines mindfulness and value-based work to reduce struggle with difficult emotions and encourage committed steps toward what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shane works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques over time, listening to what helps and adjusting the focus so the work stays relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Shane is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and access support from wherever the client is located in Wisconsin. The variety of formats supports ongoing progress while fitting therapy into everyday life.
